Last week, the gentlemen had the spotlight on them. Some flourished, and some flat-out faded. Now it is time for some female ex-Tufts athletes to undergo the Seven Questions interrogation. One question, seven 83 "Ossipizzle" residents, here we go:
1) Without the training and time commitment that went into your sport, what have you been doing with your time?
Eliza Drachman-Jones aka "DJ Funkmaster Flex", Squash Co-Captain
Now that squash is over I have a lot more free time. I've been keeping busy in a number of ways. I've been known to pickpocket a man every now and again, and ride the mechanical bull alongside D-Money Granoff, and most recently, I have been spending hours and hours in the gym preparing for a serious spring break trip to Panama City where I am challenging Lindsey Wolejko to a tan-off.
Meg McCourt, Soccer Goalie
Besides undergoing knee surgery and using quality time in the training room to stare at the hot lacrosse boys, I've been spending my free time lusting after Greg Hickey's friends from high school.
Jen Baldwin, Soccer Forward
The end of my women's soccer career didn't leave too big of a void. I easily filled it this spring with ECO, TDC, WMFO, a music ensemble, work/study, six classes, salsa lessons, baking cookies, filming a documentary, flying to the Bahamas, painting, presenting research, chilling at art galleries, paying parking tickets, loving wind power, and of course, having a go at intramural soccer (Liberacion!). But other than that, I've been picking through trash looking for recyclables and driving around campus in my SUV trying to educate people about the evils of fossil fuels.
Jess Gluck, Soccer Goalie
When I am not being accused of fraternizing with the hockey and Lax teams in the training room (my second home), I am at the Pizzle organizing activities to keep up our competitive edge. This Social Coizzle started Sunday Funday which has brought our entire house together, as we time and time again dominate over the 298 Boston Avenue boys in light hearted games, cake fights, and full costume karaoke!
Becky Greenstein, Soccer Co-Captain and Midfielder
Actually our training and competitive lifestyles have not ceased to exist. While we may not be getting dehydrated on the soccer field, dehydration still persists through our training on Team Flip This (No. 2 on campus), our street foosball games, and the occasional animal game. Life without soccer is definitely a transition, but this B-Gangsta is all up in the Ozzipizzle.
Sarah Gelb, Soccer Co-Captain and Midfielder
Despite what everyone else says, we have really conquered our soccer depression through eating and watching TV. It is true an occasional "going out" extravaganza does occur, but watching the "O.C." is truly No. 1 on our priority list, of course with the addition of our elaborate family dinners - always cooked by me. Give me food, give me the tube, and this G-Unit is all set up in the Pizzle.
Alina Schmidt, Soccer Midfielder/Defense
I've replaced our daily soccer practices by making a practice out of saving lives, and conveniently avoiding our community service punishment at the elderly community center. However, supposedly I missed out on the Valentine's Day dance filled with the electric slide and flirting with old men, but that doesn't stop the peeps from getting down with this A-Lean Back, A-Lean Back at 83 Ozzipizzle.
